easyJet - Day 13
A 3:45am wake-up for a 4:00am start is tough in anyone's book, but for a group who has already experienced 12 full days of activities, the fact everyone was up and ready to go on time was remarkable! With no suprise, the 3 girls were ready and in the bus before the majority of the boys. We arrived at easyJet headquarters at Luton airport and were welcomed by Shahir and Ricky.
We were then taken to departures and watched their favourable 20 minute turn around. Even though we were lucky enough to be able to go airside, most of us couldn't handly the freezing wind, so we were taken inside to watch. Following this we went to arrivals where again we saw their impressive turn around process. We also took advantage of our tour guide, LEO - the famous star of the TV show "Airline".
After having a break for breakfast, we were given interesting presentations on the business aspects of a low cost carrier and what makes easyJet so unique. As we were leaving, we were lucky enough to get a photo taken with the big guy himself, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who founded the airline in 1995.
